Jersey Shore castmember and NFL player to appear for TNA, Nash signs deal, Randy Savage question, ex-Diva pregnant, Final WWE All-Stars roster, Lawler and Hogan interviews, WWE's Mexico press conference on Mistico, and a Christian update

"Jersey Shore"'s Angelina has signed a short-term deal with TNA, and will reportedly debut in a tag match involving Robbie E and Cookie next week on Impact. She wants to extend the contract to make an appearance on PPV, and wants to face fellow "Shore" castmate JWoww. I hope this gets them some mainstream attention and ratings, because the core fanbase isn't going to be happy about this news. She'll also appear on the 3/10 episode.

Kevin Nash has signed a 5-year deal with WWE. The details aren't known, but he says that sometime in that period we'll "hear the Diesel engine again". Something else I'm not crazy about, but we'll see how it works. My guess is that this is a Legends deal and not a full-time talent contract. So, we likely won't be seeing Nash as much as we saw him in TNA, but he could still show up from time to time.

PWInsider.com has some more questions today. First up, will Randy Savage go into the Hall of Fame this year, and will we see him at WrestleMania? I won't lead you on here. I wouldn't bet on it.

Anything I add to the other questions would just be a rehash of what they said.

More news after the break!

Here's a story I'm not sure whether or not readers will be interested in, but I'm including it just in case. Former WWE Diva Jillian Hall has announced that she is pregnant. The baby is expected in September.

NFL player Bart Scott will appear in a segment with Hulk Hogan on the 3/3 Impact. He "cut a wrestling promo" after a game recently.

IGN.com has the complete roster for WWE All-Stars, and it's a pretty solid list. The art style's a little weird to my tastes, but the concept's pretty cool.

Jerry Lawler talks JR and WrestleMania in an interview partially recapped here. The title seems to be misleading, because they don't quote him saying that JR will actually be back on commentary at any point.

Hulk Hogan said that he's still in a back brace, but is pain free in his back for the first time in 15 years. He also talked about WWE Creative and The Rock's promo, but PWInsider disputes his comments on the matter.

WWE has a press release about the signing of Mistico, who will be known in the company as Sin Cara. He's got a lot of hype as an international superstar; I'm interested to see what he can and will do in WWE.

Christian is 3-4 weeks away from being cleared for an in-ring return. He's a solid worker, and I hope they use him well.

That's all for tonight's news. More to come tomorrow.
